Portrait Session at a Wedding

Since I haven't shot a wedding in almost two months, I haven't shared anything in a while. Yesterday I had the opportunity to shoot some portraits for a local photographer at her wedding. We had plans to travel up the snow (about 20 minutes away) after the reception, but changed our plans at the last minute and stayed in the rain. It is always an awesome thing to work with and for other photographers!

    Thanks everyone! I've had a lot of questions about how I created the shot, so many that I'm about to do a separate blog post for photogs on how to do it. I'll keep you all posted. Hint: It's easier than you'd think.

    Hmmm... no hood and a business card over the center of the lens? had to make 1 stab in the dark!! Maybe a very small squeegee? Ha!

    Your a good man Pat, thanks for sharing the knowledge and keep us posted.

    Matt, you're close but over thinking it a bit. I posted a quick write up of that shot on my blog, along with how to do a simpler version of it that I did previously. Check it out and leave me a note!

    Ten you sneaky dog. You said it was in the rain! If it was rain it would have for sure been the squeegee! Seriously though, thanks for the details. That is a great idea and I will for sure try it when I get the chance. I just couldn't figure out how you got it to not rain in front of them! By all means, please post more setup stuff on your blog and give us a heads up here. Great stuff and VERY generous of you to share.

    Thanks Matt. I've gotten a few emails and requests, so I'm hoping to be able to share some insights like this again. I'll do my best to remember to take a setup shot next time to help things out too!
